The annual croquet tournament has grown to a summer celebration in its fourth appearance this year. As well as the croquet
tournament and dance, this year the event will feature a 20-person hot tub, sand lot volleyball and "the world's largest
pool table."
Tuesday, June 76, had a near-record number of traffic tickets that went through Ringgold County Judicial Magistrate's
court. The 31 tickets processed compare to that many that might be issued in a month, Magistrate Bob ROE said.
Heather CLARK, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim CLARK of Diagonal, designed the winning poster in the 1988 Mothers Against
Drunk Driving -- National Car Rental poster/essay contest. CLARK received a check for $1,000, plaque and a gold ribbon
for her entry at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The poster featured the silhouette of a baby reaching for a
butterfly along with the words, "A Dream is a Fragile Thing. Don't Drink and Drive."
